Welcome to the SPARC Lab! We are part of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Tufts University.

At the SPARC Lab, we’re working toward making robots you can trust. Our research lies at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and control theory, with the goal of enabling provably safe and dynamic robot autonomy in real-world settings. At SPARC Lab we bridge theory and practice through the development of risk-aware control frameworks, efficient deployable algorithms, and validation across a wide range of robot platforms.

Prospective students: We’re looking for motivated students to join the lab! Please see here for more information.
